His marriage was set for this afternoon at 4 o'clock, and his loss was not discovered until after noon.

WEBER PREFERS “SUNNY CALIF.” TO “RAINY ALASKA” Enjoys Northern Scenery, But Sees Little Future for the Great Northwest Boo-o-o-oo! Likewise shiver, L. B. Weber has just got back from Alaska, and he didn't have a fight with a b'ar, nor kill a deer, nor harpoon a walrus, nor catch a seal, nor find a gold mine, nor anything. In fact, he didn't even see an Esquimol! He said the Alaskans are civilized, that the Indians spoke English, that business blocks in the cities were as businesslike as those in Anaheim, and that there were schools and churches, electric lights, water systems, and even a railroad! What do you know about that? We're beginning to think he's a better stayed at home. But wait! What's that? Scenery? Oh, yes; that's where he got the "kick" out of his trip, and maybe it wasn't the only "kick" he got out of it, since the prohibition officers are hardly aware as yet, that Alaska is on the map. Of course, they have prohibition there—in name. But then, you know, there's nothing in a name. But we started to speak about scenery.

TO CONDUCT EXCURSION AUG. 19 TO LAGUNA BEACH The Anaheim chamber of commerce will run excursion Friday, Aug. 19, from some point not yet designated, to the pagant at Laguna Beach. It is an idea originated by the Kiwanis club, and ardently supported by Harry D. Riley and Dr. H. A. Johnston of the board of directors of the C. of C. It is hoped that there will be at least 50 years of excursionists, since that date has been set aside as "Anaheim night" at the beach, and the program is said to be especially good. The admittance fee will be $1.00. It is a spirit of friendliness that has prompted the movement, it stated, and a return compliment to Laguna Beach who so satisfactorily "helped out" with an art exhibit at the local orange show this year. This is the first of a series of visits to be made by the local C. of C. to the various towns in the county on their special days. Anaheim expects to send a delegation to every show in the county, it was stated. J. Wharton Jones and Ellen B. Shaw will be at the Pagreant.

PREPARES RECALL DURING VACATION LOS ANGELES, Aug. 13.—While Superior Judge Charles Monroe is enjoying a vacation out of town, citizens are busy preparing a petition for his recall. In a circular letter asking the support of the recall churches, electric lights, water systems, and even a railroad! What do you know about that? We're beginning to think he's a better stayed at home. But wait! What's that? Scenery? Oh, yes; that's where he got the "kick" out of his trip, and maybe it wasn't the only "kick" he got out of it, since the prohibition officers are hardly aware as yet, that Alaska is on the map. Of course, they have prohibition there—in name. But then, you know, there's nothing in a name. But we started to speak about scenery. The trip from Seattle over the inside route to Skagway, a distance of 1000 miles which winds in and out among the islands off the coast of British Columbia in the Northern Pacific, is said to be one of the most picturesque water routes in the world. Attho there is something of a sameness in the mountain scenery, the individuality, if so it may be called, is such that one enjoys every moment of the time. The beautiful fiords extending inland, and occasional glaciers, as well as snowcapped peaks arising, as it wore, out of the sea, give charm to the trip. Ketchikan, the first Alaskan town at which a stop is made, is a pretty little city, and said to be one of the livelyest in southeastern Alaska. It was here that Mr. Weber accidently found a friend he had not seen in 26 years, Joe Howard, a boyhood playmate. Howard had gone to Alaska, when 22 years old, and is now the owner of one of the largest business houses in Ketchikan. There are three department stores in this little city. They are housed in modern three-story buildings. Mr. Weber visited Sitka, Wrangle, Juneau, Skagway and went over the railway to White Horse, B. C., on the upper Yukon, from where steamers go down-the Yukon to St. Michael, at the mouth of the river passing thru the Klondike and Fairbanks regions on the way. Mr. Weber talked with a business man from Fort Yukon, six miles within the Arctic circle. He stated there are about 30 persons living at Ft. Yukon, besides Indians and Eskulnaux. Since Mr. Weber went inland only to White Horse he saw no Esquimaux. He saw a large number of Indians, but they all talked English and dressed like Americans. Mr. Weber stated that Alaska was not cold enough to freeze out the "jazzy" styles that have invaded and overrun the United States, but that the Alaskan women also go about donned in the latest fashions direct from Paris, at least in the coast cities. Even the Indian girls of the Alaskan coast towns, have adopted the Parisian fads in clothing. Mr. Weber stated that on his trip thru the waters of British Columbia there was splendid weather, but the day the boat struck Alaska it began to rain, and it rained every day he was there, but one. Had it rained on that day also, he would come away with the impression that the FOR HELP COMMUNITY SHOP unity Shop is very much thing of all kinds and charge are once more neal to everyone.
